    Let’s be honest: The trade of R.A. Dickey has given Mets fans every reason to punt on the 2013 season.

    Yes, you’re looking ahead to 2014 and 2015, but 2013 comes first.

    And maybe, just maybe, there’s a way we can pretend that the Mets could be contenders this year.

    So that got me thinking—what is that one combination in 100 that puts the Mets into October?

    Benoit has given up 14 home runs in 71 innings? This is one of your two best relieves? No wonder people are jumpy.

    ARGH so close.

    Valverde should still make it somewhat interesting.

    I believe the A's were the last team the Tigers got a Game 1 postseason victory off of.

    "Blevins with 63 career appearances, equaling a career high for him"

    That was a pretty touching moment. As he left the mound after his inning ending strikeout, Neshek touched the patch honoring his son on his sleeve and started crying.

    This crowd is going insane for every ball in the air.

    I loathe Valverde so, so much.
    109. Lassus posted on October 06, 2012 at 09:02 PM #  hit 0 | hit 0

    Valverde by himself is a good enough reason to root for the A's.

    So, so many swings and misses.

    Tigers need to sweep here, because they don't play very well away from home.

    Well, go Giants.

    Eh, I'm rooting for the Reds. Giants had their moment in the sun a few years ago. Dusty deserves one!

    Dusty tempted karma when he let Russ Ortiz take the game ball in the 2002 WS

    If the A's and Giants lose in the playoffs, I will root for the Reds and Dusty.

    Yay, Ron Darling in the booth. That last broadcast was like being in hell.

    This Alex Smith guy may be a good quarterback now, but he'll never be a champion unless he abandons his old life and starts calling himself "Al Smith".

    Based on the price of those seats, if he landed on a chick, I am guessing the surface was silicone

    Break for the Giants, lets see if they can keep from making Latos look like a HOFer

    Are my ears going bad? Didn't they say Latos was warming before the commercial?

    The Giants radio guys said Latos immediately started stretching out.

    This apparently completely discombobulated CBS Game Tracker:

    J. Cueto (0.00) pitches to
    M. Scutaro (.000, 0 hr, 0 rbi):
    Strike looking (93/fastball),
    Strike looking (82/changeup),

    I think I'm a little weird in that my order of rooting goes
    1. My home team
    2. Other pet teams for whatever reason(currently none)
    3. Any team from my home teams division(Yes I will root for the Cubs if they are in the post season and the Cardinals are not)
    4. NL
    5. Anyone playing against the Red Sox, Yankees. Or any team that will piss their fans off.
    137. esseff posted on October 06, 2012 at 10:09 PM #  hit 0 | hit 0

    What was Belt doing that far off the line? Some coach earned his pay with that positioning.
    138. ShoeGrit posted on October 06, 2012 at 10:11 PM #  hit 0 | hit 0

    My 2012 post season rooting preferences.

    1. A’s (many former D Backs, Billy Beane, great story)
    2. Nationals (Mike Rizzo, even though I think he mishandled Strasburg)
    3. Reds (Great pitching…although Cueto just got hurt….I love pitching)
    4. Tigers (See above…I want A’s to get there..but if they don’t, I like Detroits starters)
    5. Orioles (For sure want to see them win ALDS, but they are not great team)
    6. Cardinals (Had enough of them)
    7. Braves (done) Best line of the night last night at the Bar “Drinks are on Chipper”
    8. Rangers (done) Ron Washington bugs me
    9. Yankees (Because we are supposed to hate the Yankees, it’s like a rule, isn’t it ?)
    10. Giants (I can’t describe how much I would hate to see them win another World Series

    The ghost of Jason Larue kicked him.


    He got injured somehow throwing a pitch (or not throwing a pitch if you ask the announcers as he was in motion and they called time out and instead of throwing the pitch, he stopped himself, and a few pitches later he wasn't able to throw.

    Is everybody seeing that MLB Fan Cave commercial? Psychotic

    Andrew Baggarly just tweeted Cueto was having back spasms.

    oh now they are saying his back tightened up

    my rooting interests now that the nolan ryans have been flushed down the tube!!!!!

    any NL team (my mama told me that i'm rooting for the cards again, so i guess so)
    any non_yankees DHleague team

    146. Hey - you and Tommy Lasorda...I hate Tommy Lasorda posted on October 06, 2012 at 10:28 PM #  hit 0 | hit 0

    He is going to fail to get the bunt down
